is this a bad idea? i've been reading where a lot of you guys call others "brave" for doing so. |
dending on the "condition" of the said live rock'.. smell it for having dead
organisms on it ' , does it have defined or cobvered with coraline.
if you add to much ' you can effectivly throw your tank back into a cycling mode .
causeing all sorts of spikes to water chemistry.
if your dead set on doing this' buy only rock thats been known to have come froma tare down tank.
then "dip" it in high salinity for atlest 3/5 minutes , this will help rid you of the nastys. ie.> aptasia, infestations of worms, and the like .
If hair algea is seen' or brown's .. scrub it with a rough brush in the bucket ,
